I'll try a reply with the Japanese one with OpenXP next.  I'm sure it will get munged since OXP does not support UTF-8.  However, I do think it treats newsgroups/nntp differently.  But I don't carry TUXPOWER as a nntp/newsgroup.

The Sylpheed gui is pretty good for most of this kind of messaging.  Latvian would be my goto language if there was an audience.  But alas, there are many more plentiful people who can manage English.

I don't think Fidonet will ever be an enduring messaging system.  I think too many people operate with GUI apps, and Fidonet messaging has simply not reached that user-base.
